 Tristan KaneTristan smiled at her gently and carried her from the ship. As his feet touched the dock he looked back at the glorious vessel he had left and a sad sigh escaped him. He was home now, a place he had so desperately avoided -but he couldn't be selfish. This was for his men, who had wives and families. Another thought struck him as he turned his head away from the ship and his eyes fell on a giant structure stood only a few yards from the dock. Jad-Bal-Ja's treasured golden lion. A symbol welcoming newcomers to the land and husbands back to their homes.
He walked off the dock and was rather close to the lion now. "That's the lion I spoke to of before. " He then whispered a few words to himself in a strange language as he passed it and closed his eyes for only a moment and continued onward.
A shortwhile passed and they finally reached an old dark building with a blue door. The building was far out of the way of the town's main plaza so there were no people in the streets. "This is were we will be staying."

Jessica looked at the Lion and gasped softly, it was beautiful but very strange at the same time, she looked up at Tristan when he mumbled something she could not understand and she frouned before looking away again.
She looked up again as he said that there were where they were going to be staying, she smild softly and nodded, "It looks really nice and relaxing, I think I'll enjoy it."

Tristan KaneTristan walked up to the blue door and pulled a key from his back pocket. The key was intricate and like no other. He used the key to open the door. Leo stood inside with crutches he had made for Jessica. Tristan set her down gently without putting her weight on the floor so she could grab the crutches. Leo smiled at her, "There will be a little pain at first, but ultimately you will be more comfortable."
Tristan smiled as he didn't remove his arms from her side. "Can you hold yourself up?"

Jessica tested out her weight on the cruches before looing up at Tristan with a soft and finaly compleatly genuin smile, "Yeah, it feels good," she said as she looked away from him quickly to look at Leo, "thank you very much." She looked bac at Tristan who still had this hands on her waist and she blushed a little, "You know, its okay, you can let go of me now, I wont fall over or anything," she felt herself laughing gently and she heard it but at the same time she did not full beleave she was atualy letting herself be relaxed and to be genunly happy.

Tristan KaneTristan and Leo both smiled knowing she was alright and Tristan took his hands from holding her. "I have a few things I have to do, but Leo will take care of you and show you to your room. "
Tristan left shortly after into the street were rain could now be heard falling rather heavily. Leo turned back to Jessica after Tristan left, "He may be gone a while, would you like me to show you around?"

Jessica laughed and nodded as she looked at Leo, "Thank you and yes, I would love that," she moved herself around looing around the room she was in smileing a little, it was strange for her to be in a proper house, no rocking under foot or anything. She looked at Leo again grinning a little.

Tristan KaneLeo then walked her down the main hall at a steady pace to not overwhelm her new grounded feet. The blue front door had opened into a small room and led to a long and narrow hallway. There was a door on the left halfway down the hall, "That's Tristan's study. He has the key, but once he gets back I;m sure he will leave it unlocked."
He then walked further down the main hall and on the right there was an arched doorway opening. Through it was a spacious dining area and at the back wall was a counter that divided the room and created a kitchen on the other side, "That's the dining room and kitchen."
He then returned to the main hall and proceeded to the end of the hall were a staircase was placed. He then turned to Jessica, "Will you be alright going up the stairs?"

Jessica nodded as she flowed him down the hall and back. She looked at the stairs judgeing if she would be able to or not, "I think I should be able to manage it, if not I will stop," she said and she carefuly started to climb up the stairs winceing a little now and again as she had to place some weight onto her feet.

Tristan KaneLeo began to climb the stairs at a slow pace and for Jessica's sake -it was surely beneficial. When they arrived at the top there was once again a long and narrow hall. This time it went the opposite direction.
He walked down the hall to the first closed door. "That is my room." He opened the door for a moment. It was rather plain.
He continued to the next door down the hall, "That is your room." He opened the door to show her. It was also plain, but had a more feminine touch to it in some respect. The bed was quite large and there was a dresser and night stand. "Every room is connected to its own bathroom."
He then walked to the second to last room down the hall, "That is Tristan's room. " He opened the door for a brief moment. The was only a bed and a small window that when looked through showed the front road.
At the end of the hall was an old ornate door resembling the one at the entrance of the home. Leo did not walk to the door or even take much notice to it.
Leo turned to Jessica, "There is a door in the kitchen that leads outside to the back. There isn't much out there -just a garden. I'll show it to you later if you'd like."

Jessica gently let herself slip onto her bed and she smiled softly shakeing her head, "Na, I'm okay thank you so much Leo," she genly placed her crutches next to her bed gently leaning against the wall and she lay down sighing softly.

Tristan KaneLeo accepted this answer and went to his own plain room. He laid down on his bed and gave a deep sigh. It had been so long since he had been back in Jad-Bal-Ja. I had almost forgotten.
The night dragged on and late that evening the front door made a quiet squeak, only to return to its silent closed position. Tristan had arrived at the home, but did not go upstairs. The back door could now be heard shutting.
Tristan sat in the darkness of his garden.

Jessica was sitting in her room still awake when she heard Tristan comeing back in, she quickly and careful grabed her cruches and made her way to her door, it was dark on the landing so she left her door open allowing the light from the one candle shehad lit in her room to light up the hall a little. She made her way down the stairs as silently as she could before she felt her way to the back door, she pulled it open as quietly as she could and looked out into the darkness as she eyes got used to the faint moon light she could make out the shape of Tristan sitting soundlessly in the garden.

Tristan KaneTristan gave a deep sigh as he faced his garden. The moonlight hit his face as well as the water from the stream that flowed diagonally through the garden. It was extremely silent in the garden and peaceful.
He looked up from his deep sigh to look at the moon which was nearly full. He looked sad. It was this place, a place he hadn't returned to in so long. A place that brought back terrible memories. I thought avoided everyone would make it easier to be here, but... His head fell again in another sigh as he simply sat in the dark yet still beautiful garden.
